Topps - Episode One Widevision Series 2 Retail (1999)

The 80 common cards for this set are identical to the common cards for Episode One Series Two Hobby Edition. The chase cards for this set are different from those offered in the hobby version however, and this set does not have any oversized box cards. Many collectors were less than thrilled by ending up with additional common sets in an effort to obtain the chase cards. This has led to the value of the common sets being very low.

Like the first series of cards, this series presents scenes from the film in a widevision format. Card backs feature great production information and behind-the-scenes photos of the stars, the production staff, and conceptual drawings. You'll also find considerable behind-the-scenes information, including quotes from the stars on their roles. Each card back features either Obi-Wan, Qui-Gon, or Darth Maul brandishing a saber on the right-hand side of the card.

Card fronts present fairly standard movie images, with no effort to follow the story line of the film.

Many thanks to Daniel O'Leary for his assistance with a partial checklist for the chase cards.
